Thanks, I begin to understand :-) But what does "share the same work"
mean in FRBR terms? Maybe its easier to express formally with a narrower
term:

{ ?X ov:commonManifestation ?Y }
=> # implies one of the following holds:
{ ?X a frbr:Manifestation . ?Y a frbr:Manifestation . ?X owl:sameAs ?Y }
OR
{ ?X a frbr:Manifestation . ?Y a frbr:Item . ?Y frbr:exemplarOf ?X }
OR
{ ?X a frbr:Item . ?Y a frbr:Manifestation . ?Y frbr:exemplar ?X }
OR
{ ?X a frbr:Item; frbr:exemplarOf ?Z .
?Y a frbr:Item; frbr:exemplarOf ?Z .
?Z a frbr:Manifestation . }
I can think of "share the same Work/Expression/Manifestation", but what
does "share the same Item" mean? I bet that "A and B share the same FOO"
must be expressable in RDF as
<A> ?r _:x . <B> ?r _:x . _:x a <FOO> .
So what about the relation ?r.

I'd better rename the properties to something like ov:sharesWorkWith or
ov:hasSameWorkAs. The label "commonWork" looks more like "is common work
of" which led me doubt.
